There's not much to be found about Bellview, but Wikipedia provides a blurb:

Bellview lies on the High Plains of the Llano Estacado at an altitude of 4,455 feet (1,358 m) above sea level. It is located 12 miles (19 km) east of Grady, 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Broadview, and 29.5 miles (47.5 km) north of Clovis. New Mexico State Road 241 runs east–west through town. Bellview had its own post office until it closed on April 22, 1995.Today, the town is mostly abandoned and approaching ghost-town status.

Peeking through the window, one can still see a few of the things you'd have found at this post office while it was still active, suggesting that it hasn't seen any other use since 1995. There are some pipes out in front of the building, suggesting that it may have once functioned as a service station as well.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
